Someone has said that “the library is the memory of the human race.” With the help of the student body Senior High Library can be jUvSt that and much more. Through books, films, filmstrips, radio and various other media information needed by students and faculty is available. Each year Senior High School spends approximately .$2,000 on the library. Of this amount alxnit $,300 is spent on magazines alone. To watch some students as they throw magazine on the shelves is most discouraging. The life* of a maga zine is short at best. Is there any reason why any student should not take time to l^]ac^e a magazine on the shelf carefully and in its pro per place V Magazines are shelved alphabetically and shelves are la beled for the convenience of users. It is only a simple act of courtesy to fellow students to return a maga zine to its proiier place when not in use. Evidently, some students think it proper to clip pictures, cou- IKins, and even articles from maga zines. Slipping anything from a magazine destroys its value for fu ture readers. A good motto would he “Read and let read.” Courtesy would also demand that a student take only one magazine from the shelves at the time. The magazine hoarder never considers anyone else. He takes “Saturday Evening Post,” “Collier’s,” and “Boy’s Life” and stack.s them under the “Life” while he reads it. Courtesy and consideration are the only require ments for the use of magazines. The remainder of the money al lotted to the Hbnary is spent for books, audio-visual materials and supplies. Often we find that some one has cut several pages from a book. This means that that book must be replaced and there is less money to be spent for new books and other materials.

Have you ever been guilty? Library regulations are posted on the front door of the library and on the cirtulation desk. Courtesy and consideration for others on the part of every student will mean that all regulations are carried out. It will also mean the proper use of the library at all times. The librarians are very much concerned about the abuse of Sen ior High Library. Our aim is to help all -students at all times. We can do thi.s only as all students cooperate with us. If each student will see that he uses the library as a young adult should, then Senior High will be using, and not abus ing, the library. Can we count on you? Libraries will continue to exist only if they are properly used. Snobbery is the pride of those who are not sure of their position.

DUKE OMPANTf iL CncAw*. Ice Show Skaters Are Interviewed By JOHN UTIJSY “Zin-n-n-g.” This was the sound that greeted your Roving >ltei>orter, along with photographer, Bob Bruce, several, weeks ago. The occasion to * hear such a sound, came with the unex pected honor of visiting and inter viewing the stars of the “Caval cade on Ice.” The recent visit of George Cart wright’s show, “Cavalcade on Ice” launched a new form of entertain ment for 'the South. Ice skating, up to now, has primarily confined to the North. The eight-piece orchestra, which furnisheil the music for the rhyth mic dancing of the skaters, was under the direction of the very capable Harry Russell. “Cavalcade on Ice” boasts a com pany of seventy-five stars, but we were able to secure interviews from only a few. Among these were Billy Knapp, Kenny Lamb, Fob Ballard, Peggy Fahay, and Boh Sample. Billy Knapp, whom we talked to first, was a quiet sort of fellow in comparison to his role on .skates. He had been skating professionally for five years. During those five years he has averaged a show a year. When we asked him if it were hard to learn to ice-skate, he repliwi, “If you know how to roller skate, it's an easy matter to learn to ice-skate.” Billy is considered the “('lark Gable of Icedom.” The ice show would be nothing but ballet, if it were not for the comic efforts of Kenny Lamb, Bob Ballard, and Peggy Fahay. Kenny Lamb ha.s skatinl throughout the world, including Mexico, England. Canad'a, and the (Tiited Slates. We were asked to (piote the Greensboro Shrine Club, “He is the best.’’ When Kenny heard this, he just laughed, saying, “It comes natural. Ckmiedy is the easiest thing to do. .lust be yourself.” Bob has had an eventful life, in- iluding one as stunt in-an in Ilolly- w'ood for five years. Bob eontradict- ed Kenny’s opinion of comedy by saying. “It’s a lot of hard work.” Perhaps the most interesting per- .son we met was a eomeUanne. Miss Peggy Fahay. Peggy ha.s lived on Daily Doubles By Evelyn Sink She is a sophomore, he is a sen ior. Tliey first met when he dated her sister. Their first date was on February 28, 1949. Chocolate milk shakes and Castleburgers are their favorite food, ■ and their favorite song is “Stardust.” He plays foot ball and she likes to watJcb him play. Who are they? Last issue’s daily doubles were Kenan Neese and Italph Rierson. ice skates for about twenty years. The first seventeen of those twenty years, she never thought of CMinedy. Her first part in comedy came when she joiiHHl “Holiday on Ice” three years ago.
